    NAT strict ? and ... what's the problem doc ?

    my Nat is also strict and i can play without any problems on LiNK ...

    Best regards , Jéjé le tech

    I can play on LiNK also, as can most of us. But when you see a room with 30 people in it and can find one game (if that) and then the games you do find only have one or two people in them... I think that may have to do with NAT. I think that is also why we have trouble finding each other. Not saying this is concrete though. But it would make sense. What I need to find out is if the people who host a game and it has a lot of players, if they have an Open NAT. Because they would be the ideal host.

    FWIW - I have a DD-WRT router and have messed with the settings (including now trying to enable DMZ and turn off the DashLaunch LiveBlock) but no luck so far, my NAT stays at Strict.

    Can people with Open NAT status please post their setup and what their current experience is in terms of how people they see, game availability, etc?

    The developers have already said even if your NAT is open, it will show up as strict ANYWAYS. WHATEVER YOU DO.

    Read guys, please.

    Care to link to this? Didn't see that in this thread. Not in their release information or setup information. I think most of us are reading.....

    i opened live block.. and still nat strict

    Did you also port forward 5060, 5061 & 3074?

    Also, check this page out : http://support.rocks...ne-connectivity

    According to Rockstar:

    • Open NATs can connect to any of the three types. --> Probably the least common type
    • Moderate can only connect to open and moderate. --> Probably the most common type
    • Strict can ONLY connect to open.
    They also list what ports to fiddle with to try and get an Open NAT. I think this is the problem most of us are having when we try to find games to join.

    They also suggest enabling DMZ for the Xbox IP which turns off the firewall. May have to try that when I get home.

    You see, if most of us can only see a couple games then those are the games being hosted by people with an OPEN NAT. If more of us can get to have an open NAT then maybe we would have more games to join. Really hopping this can be a dashlaunch patch in the future to make the NAT always be open.

    ok i guess i know why we dont see all the rooms.. its all cause of something called NAT ... its like a security system in the router.. the only problem is.. when i disable it.. the whole internet get disconnected.. so.. i hope the admins have a solution for that.. like make the NAT OPEN in configuration like enabling ping patch and devlink.. or atleast u can give us a tutorial how to solve this situation... thanks for your patience.. and for reading if u read this

    NAT is Network Address Translation. Basically it is what makes your port forward work. They call it translation because you can translate the incoming port to the port it contacts your computer on as it passes though your router.

    You turn off NAT, you turn off all your port forwards, so that isn't a good idea :)

    If you read this: http://www.cainetwor...trict-open.html

    They say NAT status comes from the system doing a UDP check against three ports (5060, 5061 & 3074) . So theoretically you should be able to open those ports and everything work like magic. Well I did that and I still get the usual only seeing one or two rooms, if that.

    I do wonder if the DashLaunch Live block causes the NAT to show as Strict. But I am not going to risk testing that. My KV is still good and I may want to sell it some day to a lobby loser.

    Pretty sure JQE's servers are melting. Is anyone able to connect at this point? Getting port test failures and games are not working, and I am very familiar with forwarding ports. Manually forward or with UPNP on the router, both do not work.

    Time to let things settle down a bit. Thanks for the EPiC work here guys!

    Man, I love what you guys are cranking out. Link looks sick and this is awesome too!

    It really gets me excited since it seems like it may have us close to being able to inject code into the game in real time and toy with making "cheats".

    Hopefully coded to not work on Live, but to use trainers would be awesome.

    Oh well, off topic. Love this, love link, love the new coverflow. If I had a uterus I would have your babies.
